Nice. A 765 successor but based on the 750s.

I wonder what’s next for McLaren after the 750. Make the successor hybrid or stick to V8TT? It will also need a complete redesign.

Rumors are its a complete redesign and a V8 based on the W1 engine.

TT V8 hybrid is next. I believe McLaren is going to target the 849 / Revuelto in terms of market position. Think 1000 HP, 1500 KG wet. Should be nuts.

From the information I have, the 750s successor will be a V8 hybrid 'light hybrid' with 900 hp, and another model is said to be a grand tour super GT with a V8 hybrid and 'good' EV range in the €500k. This model is said to have over 1000 hp. This new 'super GT' will certainly rival the 849 Testarossa. Also, the hybrid SUV will cost around €250k and is said to be "light". I will have more information by the end of the year.

From the infos i have the 750s successor will be V8 Hybrid but "LIght hybrid" with 900hp and another model will follow said to be a Grand tour super GT with a V8 Hybrid with "Good" EV range in the €500K and the model is said to be well over 1000hp. This new "Super GT" will be a 849 rival for sure. Also, the SUV hybrid will be in the €250K range and said to be "light". I will have more info by the end of the year.

A very exciting period is approaching for McLaren.

Any news regarding McLaren v6 TT?

Any news regarding McLaren v6 TT?

I had heard that an LT version would be coming out for the Artura, but my source hasn't given me any news about this model for a while.

 

[McLaren64TR]

The McLaren SUV is coming in 2028 and is expected to have an estimated starting price of $300,000. That's more expensive than the Lamborghini Urus but cheaper than the Ferrari Prosangue.

Base is 750S and not 765LT???

 

[tristatez28lt1]

What I’ve heard about the McLaren SUV is not good. As there was quite some involvement by fourseven (with the usual arrogant and top down decision making especially when it comes to design) apparently it is anything but a true McLaren… do we really need another 400k+ SUV that isn’t authentically in line with the brand?

Also got a few very critical comments about Leiters. They were happy he was let go. Even though publicly that’s not how it’s being communicated exactly.

That’s interesting.

750s base yes

No...I want to see a v12 engine

A regular poster on Mclarenlife forum seems to have a more positive opinion on it;

“So now that the cats officially out of the bag and they announced they are coming out with the SUV and other cars, I can share some info that i've know about for close to two years now.

Mclaren called me about two years ago and wanted my input on the upcoming SUV they were going to make. I gave my opinion on what would make a great Mclaren SUV. Light, V8 at minimum, reliable, and if possible the first carbon monocoque SUV the world has seen. The new SUV Is going to be really really really cool, it has a clean Mclaren look to it, but still muscular looking. Much better looking that the Urus or DBX.

In regards to the 788HS, Mclaren had decided to move forward with the car back in 2023. There was a group of 765LT owners (also ultimate series owners) that were very against Mclaren making the car. I was neutral on Mclaren making the 788HS. On one hand, it was going to hurt 765LT owners and values. Even though they are making less of the 788HS than the 765LT, it undoubtedly will hurt 765LT values, as the 765 will no longer go down as the last hardcore 7 series. BUT on the other hand, I was super excited to see what the 788HS would become and excited for its performance. Mclaren knocked it out of the park with the 750 updates mainly the gen 3 suspension and build quality of the car. So the 788HS is going to be bonkers, that all I will say haha.

There are some other cars that Mclaren is coming out with that I won't discuss at the moment, but the future looks very bright for the brand!!

Also no Artura LT.

Class dismissed.”

No Artura LT.

 

[McLaren64TR]

Frankly, I'm most curious about the SUV because it will be a model that will generate a very significant revenue for McLaren. This will allow McLaren to easily finance other exotic models as well. I'd like to remind you that the Cayenne saved Porsche from bankruptcy.

- Around 20 to 30 cars
- Manual gearbox
- Could have a naturally aspirated engine
- To be unveiled at Goodwood FOS

Important : Thank you to the various sources for sharing it with me. Of course, while awaiting confirmation, it should be taken with a pinch of salt.

McLaren Finally Lets You Buy Its Le Mans Hypercar, But It’s Not The Same Machine
Carscoops

McLaren’s long-awaited LMDh Hypercar is going racing, and customers are getting a slice of it too, just without the hybrid hardware. The road-going version ditches the race car’s electrified setup and sticks with pure combustion power instead. Like the Aston Martin Valkyrie LH, it is aimed at non-professional drivers who want something that feels, and behaves, like a proper race car rather than a dressed-up track toy.


McLaren confirmed in mid-2025 that it plans to build a limited run of customer versions of its racing Hypercar under the banner of ‘Project: Endurance.’ Expect performance comfortably beyond the McLaren Senna and even the Solus GT, which until now have represented the sharp end of the brand’s track-day specials.

Initially, it was speculated that the customer car would have the same powertrain as the race car. However, during the Hypercar’s recent Asia-Pacific unveiling in Australia, the head of HyperTrack Cars at McLaren, Neil Underwood, confirmed that won’t be the case.



Whereas the racer uses a twin-turbocharged V6 with an electric motor and produces a combined 671 hp to comply with Balance of Performance regulations, the model available to customers will solely use a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6. This engine will deliver 720 hp, according to Which Car. That is still shy of the 829 hp delivered by the 5.2-liter V10 in the Solus GT, but on a closed circuit, it is unlikely anyone will feel shortchanged.

Other changes will be made to the car available to paying customers. For example, it will feature adjustable traction control, as well as more suitable power delivery and braking performance.

As for production numbers, McLaren is keeping quiet. It may simply build as many as it can place with the right buyers. Testing of both the endurance racer and its non-hybrid sibling kicks off this year, with first customer deliveries penciled in for the tail end of 2027.

Unlike previous McLaren track specials, this one is being developed in parallel with the Le Mans entry, drawing on teams from both McLaren Automotive and McLaren Racing. Owners will be enrolled in a comprehensive two-year global track program and get direct access to company engineers and professional drivers,
